Jefferson Parish officials said a JetBlue flight was diverted to New Orleans earlier this week to remove Lindsay Lohan's stepmother.

The incident happened Wednesday on JetBlue Flight 101 which was traveling from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Los Angeles, California, the Associated Press said.

Kate Major-Lohan was removed from the plane after it landed at the Louis Armstrong International Airport. She was turned over to the FBI, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

JetBlue officials would only confirm the flight was diverted to New Orleans to remove an "unruly customer," but would not identify the person. A spokesperson said local law enforcement would answer additional questions.

FBI spokesman Craig Betzebe did not immediately respond to an email for information. Additional information about the incident was not released.
